To be honest, designing business marketing campaigns for existing customers is as difficult as nailing jelly to a tree. That’s given.
To accomplish this feat of tough analysis, access to a list of customers, email addresses, and purchase data is imperative, but the tricky part remains unattended- sending meaningful insights that will boost a customer’s lifetime value and trigger a repeated purchase.

This trick of accurately targeting customers has been cracked by big enterprises with the help of in-house Data Science teams using a particular approach. The name of their approach is- Market Basket Analysis (MBA).
It is one of the key approaches adopted by renowned retailers to unravel the link between items. One of the basic principles of this approach is to track the combination of items that occur together repeatedly in the transactions.
In simple words, it enables retailers to determine the relationship between the items that consumers purchase. Let’s dig deep for a better understanding.

At the core

The very base of MBA, popularly known as Affinity Analysis, is depended on Data Mining, which uses Association Rule Learning to determine the bond between customers and the attributes associated with them.

The more common and stronger a relationship is, the quicker you can put your customers into segments for future analysis. All that is needed for this initiative is customer and order data.

A scenario– In a grocery store, there are numerous products, out of which consumers can lay their hands on any particular group of things. Say Peanut butter and jelly, cream cheese and turkey, etc. Using Market Basket Analysis on the grocery store data, it will be a piece of cake to determine which products are brought together by customers. Adding a feather in its cap is- discovering new bonds between customers and newer product combinations.

It comes as no surprise that MBA is applied to different segments of the retail sector to pump up sales and open new streams of revenue sources by determining the requirements of the customer and making purchase offers to them.
